Programs and Services

North Mountain Institute started as an after-school tutoring program but has expanded to include a variety of programs for students of all ages.

School Tutoring

We offer dedicated after-school tutoring sessions in small groups and one on one for students in kindergarten through high school. Our goal is to ensure that the lessons kids are struggling with in school are explained in new ways to help drive the point home so that when kids go back to school, they feel confident in their new skills and understand exactly what they're doing. We have dedicated professional tutors and former teachers who are knowledgeable in a variety of different types of teaching to help meet students on their terms.

PSAT Prep

Don't stress about taking the PSAT! Our organization offers cutting-edge test prep for all of our students every week in small groups where test-takers can study with realistic practice questions. We use questions that are similar to the ones that are on the real PSAT exam so our students always feel confident about what to expect when they sit down to take the exam. Our classes also include test-taking tips that can help students relax and do their best on test day. Many students who have taken our prep course have managed to achieve high PSAT scores and qualified for scholarships and other scholastic awards.

SAT Prep

Our students have been scoring higher on the SAT since we started offering our weekend prep courses. This is due in large part to using practice questions that mirror the ones students will see on the actual day of the test. This SAT prep course not only helps teach students they skills they need but also touches on key test-taking strategies that have been proven to help students at every level, tailored to their specific learning styles and needs. We help students learn the most efficient ways to answer the questions they'll see on the test and get better scores so they can get into their dream schools.

ACT Prep

In this course, you'll study in small groups with top-notch teachers who know exactly what to do to get students impressive scores that will have colleges lining up to admit them. Our teachers use real test questions to help students practice so they have a better understanding of exactly what to expect the day they come in for the test. This can help students to feel more confident and relaxed, which can improve their performance.

GED Prep

It's never too late to get your GED. Whether you plan to test out of going to school completely or you're hoping to continue your education, our teachers can help. We make efficient use of your time by identifying your strengths and weaknesses through a practice test that can show what should be each student's primary focus for the rest of the course. With small groups and a dedicated teacher, every student we've worked with has improved their learning skills in a variety of subjects and has managed to reach their goals.

Study Skills Workshop

Boost your grades by taking our study skills workshop, which we offer twice a month with one of our dedicated educators. This five-hour course is designed for students of all ages who want to better prepare for tests and remember more of what they learn later on.

Adult Education

There's no age when learning should stop, and that's why we offer daily courses for adults looking to improve their lives through education. This includes:

Academic Counseling and Skill Development

This is an opportunity offered to our high school students who are trying to figure out what comes after graduation. It's a big transition that can be hard to make when you're a teenager, and that's why our educators are here to help students find clear paths to success. We work with students to determine where their interests lie, what kinds of skills they have or hope to have, and how to take those interests and point them toward a future they'll love.
